Church is transformed into the land of Narnia

Finding Jesus in Narnia, at St Bartholomew’s Church in Colne, Lancashire.

A church in Lancashire has been transformed into C.S. Lewis’ beloved land of Narnia with the hope of pointing visitors to Christ.

Finding Jesus in Narnia, at St Bartholomew’s Church in Colne, was made up of scenes from the stories – cut out of large sheets of plywood and painted. The exhibition included written guides and panels explaining both the story and its Christian elements.

The minister of St Bartholomew’s, Alex Oehring, told en: “Our prayer through this display [is] that God will change the desires of people’s hearts; that the things people love about Aslan – his sacrificial death, his love for the animals and people of Narnia, and his power to end the cold winter – they will discover are really true about Jesus.”
